Книга About Time: Narrative, Fiction and the Philosophy of Time About Time: Narrative, Fiction and the Philosophy of Time Книги Психология, философия Автор: Mark Currie Год издания: 2007 Формат: pdf Издат.:Edinburgh University Press Страниц: 192 Размер: 1,1 ISBN: 0748624244 Язык: Английский0 (голосов: 0) Оценка:Mark Currie brings together theoretical and philosophical ideas about time in his analysis of anticipation and other forms of projection into the future. In the work of such writers as Ali Smith, Ian McEwan, Martin Amis, and Graham Swift, he considers "prolepsis" or "flashforward," in which a character experiences the present as the object of a future memory, and outlines a set of questions about tense and temporal reference that redefines the function of stories in contemporary culture. He also revisits traditional questions about the difference between literature and philosophy in relation to knowledge of time.
